What Are Subcontracting Opportunities?
A subcontracting opportunity arises when a prime contractor or other contractor responsible for a contract or project identifies a need for another business to provide part of the work, products, services, staffing, or specialist capabilities required for delivery.

Target a Specific Industry
If your business serves a specialised market, request a dataset focused on the industries and subcontracting requirements most relevant to your offering.
Refine Subcontracting Opportunities by Industry, Capability & Business Fit
Industry classifications and NAICS codes (where available) help businesses move from broad opportunity coverage to more specific subcontracting requirements. Use them as filters alongside contract scope, project requirements, and stated subcontracting needs.
Primary NAICS Codes
Focus on subcontracting requirements that match your company's core business classification.
Secondary NAICS Codes
Expand your search to additional services or capabilities your business provides.

Capability Matching
Review classification data alongside contract scope, project requirements, and the stated subcontracting need before deciding whether to pursue the opportunity.
